Tell me why did you join the military? (Not a US only thread)

I missed out I had a Bachelors in Business and was a very fit football player and powerlifter the recruitment officer put me on a set of scales and
told me to loose 5kg.I never went back.I was a manager with Textron before I retired so I might of had something to offer.

They didn't really tell me anything about why I was there. Over time, they taught me to lead.

Eh. China wasn't really seen as the threat. It was more systems and factions. We trained against Aircraft and Missiles. The location of those
systems could change. The soviets sold so much, that any country could have them. So we trained to fight Mig-29s and SU-27s. We trained to defeat
the SA-6, SA-2, etc.
